How long would you suggest studying for it before scheduling the exam? Do you feel it prepared you to become a successful trainer?
All advice welcome and appreciated...

I just recently passed my NASM CPT exam and I must say that it was very challenging.I would suggest studying for a minimum of an hour per day and sometimes longer. I definitely believe that this helped to prepare me as I had no real knowledge of personal training prior to taking the exam. I think that this will give you an excellent foundation as a trainer!
